Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

650 g Boneless & skinless chicken breast Cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp Olive oil See notes
3 Garlic cloves Peeled and crushed
170 g Sun dried tomatoes Drained and very finely chopped
1 tsp Oregano
2 tsp Paprika
250 g Dried pasta See notes
650 ml Chicken stock bouillon cube See notes
150 ml Double cream heavy cream (US/CAN or (AUS) thickened cream)
50 g Parmesan Grated
120 g Spinach
Freshly ground black pepper

Method

In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. When it's hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and a good sprinkling of pepper. Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally until all sides are starting to colour.
Reduce the heat and add the garlic, sun dried tomatoes, oregano and paprika. Stir for 3-5 minutes until the garlic is softened.
Add the pasta and stock and give everything a good stir and put the lid on. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Turn the heat to the lowest setting add the spinach and cream and stir very well for 1-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the cream is heated through. Check the chicken is cooked through and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Turn off the heat and stir in the parmesan.

Notes

Oil: Use olive oil, or use some of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar. This adds heaps of extra flavour.

Cooking time: The cooking time for One Pot Pastas can vary a lot, depending on the heat and the pasta shape. Just keep an eye on it as it cooks and allow to cook for longer if needed. If you do need to cook for longer, you may need to add a splash or two of more boiling water.

Sun-dried tomatoes: If you (or your family) don't love the texture of these just cut them up very very small, they melt into the sauce and add heaps of flavour.

Double cream: Double cream is known as heavy cream if you're in USA or Canada or thickened cream if you're in Australia.
